AIM: To investigate the effect of baicalin on the radiosensitization of HeLa cells .METHODS:The cell activity was determined by MTT assay .The radiosensitivity of HeLa cells was detected by colony formation assay . The cell cycle was analyzed by flow cytometry .The protein levels of Akt , p-Akt, Bad and p-Bad were examined by Western blot.RESULTS:The cell growth of the HeLa cells was inhibited by baicalin dose-dependently and IC 50 was 43.65 mg/L. The results of colony formation assay showed that combination of 8 mg/L baicalin and radiotherapy further improved survival curve and decreased the value of D0 and Dq, as compared with radiotherapy alone (P<0.05).Furthermore, baicalin en-hanced the effect of radiotherapy on cell cycle , as evidenced by the increase in cell percentage in G 2/M phase (P<0.05). Additionally, after incubation with baicalin , radiotherapy-induced phosphorylation of Akt and Bad were further augmented (P<0.05).CONCLUSION:Baicalin augments radiosensitivity of HeLa cells through the inhibition of cell cycle transi -tion and activation of PI3K/Akt signaling pathway.

Objective:To obesrve the influence of DNA-PKcs in the chemoresistance of multi-drug resistance malignant glioma cells,and to explore its molecuIar mechanism in chemoresistance.Methods:siRNA was used to construct the DNA-PKcs knockdown human glioma U251 cell line;Western blotting method was used to detect the expressions of DNA-PKcs in U251 cells (U251 cells), doxorubicin (ADM)resistant U251 cells (U251/ADM cells),DNA-PKcs knockdown and ADM resistant U251 cells (U251/ADM/siDNA-PKcs cells).CCK8 method was used to detect the cell proliferation activity in three groups;Western blotting method was used to detect the expressions of MDR1, pNF-κB/p6, total Akt, pAkt/T308 and pAKT/S473 in the cells in three groups. Results:The expression level of DNA-PKcs in U251/ADM cells was significantly higher than those in U251 cells and U251/ADM/siDNA-PKcs cells (P < 0.01 ).The IC50 values of doxorubicin (ADM),paclitaxel (PTX), gemcitabine (GEM)in U251/ADM/siDNA-PKcs cells were significantly lower than that in U251/ADM cells (P <0.05);the expression levels of pAKT/S473,pNF-κB/p65,and MDR1 in U251/ADM/siDNA-PKcs cells were significantly lower than those in U251/ADM cells (P <0.01),but the total Akt and pAkt/T308 had no significant differences between two groups (P >0.05).Conclusion:DNA-PKcs can significantly enhance the chemoresistance of multi-drug resistance malignant glioma cells,the underlying mechanism is related to up-regulation of pAKT/S473,pNF-κB/p65 and MDR1 expressions.

Objective To estimate the clinical effect of cutting titanium inlay crown in the restoration of short cracked molar. Methods Sixty-four short coronal cracked teeth were randomly divided into group A and group B. Group A were treated by crown. Group B were treated by titanium inlay crown. The curative effect was evaluated every year and lasted 2 years. Results One year after the repair, there was no significant difference in the achievement ratio between two groups (93.8%vs 100%,χ2=2.064, P>0.05). Two years after the repair, the success rate was significantly higher in group B (96.9%) than that of group A (68.8%,χ2=8.892, P<0.01). The failed cases of group A were treated by cutting titanium inlay crown, showing good retention. Conclusion The retention of a short cracked molar can be improved by means of cutting titanium inlay crowns.

Objective To study the imaging of central pentine myelinolysis (CPM) and extrapontine myelinolysis(EPM) after liver transplantation and value of DWI. Methods Eight patients after liver transplantation with CPM and EPM were included in our study, 4 cases of female and 4 cases of male.MR examinations were performed on Philips 1.5 T MRI system. The sequences included SE T1 WI, FSE T2Wl,axial SE-EPI DWI,TR/TE 6225/118.7 ms, ETL 128, FLIP 90°, thickness 5 nun, matrix 128 ×128,b=1000 mm2/s. Results Four of B type hepatitis and cirrhosis and 1 case combined with hepatic carcinoma, 1 of C type hepatitis with cirrhosis from schistosome,2 of C type hepatitis and cirrhosis, 1 of cholangiogenic cirrhosis. MR demonstrated prolongation of T1 and T2 with a shape of butterfly, round or quadrangle on the brain stem sparing of the corticospinal tract and peripontine tissue. The lesion manifested high signal intensity both on DWI and ADC map indicating T2 effect and vasogenic edema. Follow up MR in 2 cases 2 months later showed more prolongation of T1 and T2 than the first time and the lesion manifested iso-intensity signal on DWI and high signal intensity on ADC map suggesting increased diffusivity. Abnormal signal intensities were detected on the bilateral caudate head, globus pallidus, putamen and cerebral cortex in 3 cases. Conclusion CPM should be considered when prolongation of T1 and T2 with a shape of butterfly, round or quadrangle on the brain stem, sparing of the corticospinal tract and peripontine tissue was detected for patients of pest-transplantation. When combined with other area abnormality, EPM and CPM should be considered. DWI can early and sensitively show the lesion.

Many specific therapeutic antibody drugs have been developed for different indications. In drug development, it has been found that the antibody isotype framework can not only affect the physical and chemical properties of therapeutic antibodies, but also influence the activity and therapeutic effect. As a result, IgG isotype selection should be considered carefully in antibody drug development strategies. Because of the unique biological characteristics, IgG4 isotype has been used in some therapeutic antibodies for which effector functions are not desired. In order to provide new ideas for the development of antibody drugs, the research and application progress of IgG4 isotype in therapeutic antibody drug development has been reviewed.

Objective:To explore the early clinical features and the prognostic factors of children with septic shock in PICU.Methods:A retrospective analysis was conducted at PICU of the Children′s Hospital, Capital Institute of Pediatrics from January 2016 to November 2018, totally 56 children diagnosed as septic shock were enrolled in the study.According to the prognosis of 28 days, the patients were divided into death group and survival group; according to the lowest pediatric critical score (PCIS) within 24 hours after admission to PICU, the children were divided into non-critical group (>80 points), critical group (70-80 points) and extremely critical group (<70 points). The clinical characteristics of early stage in each group were analyzed and compared.Results:Of the 56 children with septic shock, 32 were males and 24 were females, and the mean age was 12.0(1.0, 180.0) months.The overall mortality rate was 37.5%(21/56). The mortality of non-critical group, critical group and extremely critical group were 12.5%(2/16), 16.7%(1/6) and 52.9%(18/34), respectively.There were no statistically significant differences between survival group and death group in gender and age, PICU stay time, heart rate, mean arterial pressure at 1 hour and 24 hours, ventilator using and the duration of mechanical ventilation(all P>0.05). The vasoactive-inotropic score(VIS) at 6 hours and 24 hours of death group were significantly higher than those in survival group[19.0(5.0-29.5) vs.5.0(0.0-10.0), 22.5(3.5-43.8) vs.5.3(0.0-13.5)]. The scores of PCIS in death group were less than that in survival group(57.3±10.7 vs.72.8±12.0)( t=4.85, P<0.001). The lactate level in survival group before resuscitation was statistically lower than that in death group[1.8(1.3-2.8) mmol/L vs.4.5(2.4-8.4)mmol/L]( Z<-3.70, P<0.05). At 1 hour, 6 hours and 24 hours after treatment, fluid resuscitation volume in death group were markedly higher than that in survival group[1 hour: (41.8±5.8)ml/kg vs.(38.5±5.3)ml/kg, t=-2.22, P<0.05; 6 hours: (69.5±4.4)ml/kg vs.(59.9±3.5)ml/kg, t=-8.96, P<0.05; 24 hours: (122.3±19.6)ml/kg vs.(111.7±16.2)ml/kg, t=-2.20, P<0.05]. Multiple sample comparisons found significant differences between the non-critical group[(60.0±3.5) ml/kg] and the extremely critical group[(65.3±6.0) ml/kg, P<0.05], and pairwise comparison of fliud intake within 1 h and 24 h showed no statistically differences( P>0.05). In the univariate analysis, variables significantly associated with death in septic shock were lactic acid before resuscitation and the 24 h lactate clearance rate, VIS 6 h, VIS 24 h, procalcitonin, ejection fraction, PCIS, 6 h-fluid resuscitation volume and multiple organ dysfunction (MODS). The Logistic regression showed that 6 h-fluid resuscitation volume, PCIS, lactic acid and MODS were independent risk factors.ROC curve analysis showed the AUCs of 6 h-fluid resuscitation volume, PCIS, early lactic acid and MODS for predicting death of septic shock children were 0.947, 0.835, 0.797 and 0.761, respectively. Conclusion:The mortality of septic shock is high, and decreased PCIS, elected serum lactic acid level and early fluid resuscitation, and MODS are risk factors associated with the death of septic shock.

Objective:To detect the expression of inhibitor of DNA binding-2(ID-2) in colorectal adenocarcinoma and analyze its relationship with proliferation.Methods:A total of 67 patients with colorectal adenocarcinoma diagnosed in North China University of Science and Technology Affiliated Hospital were selected from November 2014 to September 2015, tumor tissue as the research objects.All patients underwent radical operation.The tumor tissue was taken as the observation group, and the normal colonic mucosa tissue>3 cm from the edge of the tumor was taken as the control group.Immunohistochemistry was used to detect the expression of ID-2 of the two groups and the Ki67 of cancer tissue.SW480 cell line of ID-2 overexpression was constructed.The expression of proliferating cell nuclear antigen(PCNA)was detected by Western Blot.Cell activity was detected by CCK-8 test.Correlation was analyzed between ID-2 and Ki67 by pearman correlation analysis.Prognostic value of ID-2 was analyzed by Kaplan-Meier survival analysis and Log-rank test in colorectal adenocarcinoma.Results:The positive rate of ID-2 was 49.3%(33/67) in the observation group, which was higher than 9.0%(6/67) in the control group, and the difference between the two groups was was statistically significant(χ 2=23.927, P<0.05). In the observation group, the expression of ID-2 was statistically significant in different invasion depth(serosa and extraserosa was 68.7%(22/32), serosa and extraserosa was 31.4%(11/35)), degree of differentiation(low differentiation was 80.0%(8/10), medium differentiation was 57.9%(11/19), high differentiation was 36.8%(14/38)), clinical stage(Ⅲ and Ⅳ stage were 64.3%(18/28), Ⅰ and Ⅱ stage were 38.5%(15/39)), lymph node metastasis(metastasis was 70.8%(17/24), no metastasis was 37.2%(16/43)) and tumor thrombus(yes was 75.0%(12/16), no was 41.2%(21/51)). The difference was statistically significant (χ 2 value were 6.311, 4.023, 4.349, 6.967 and 5.575, respectively, all P<0.05). Positive correlation was found between ID-2 and Ki67( r=0.65, P<0.05). Survival analysis showed that the expression of ID-2 was related to the prognosis of patients (X2=5.29, P=0.013). Compared with empty vector transfection group and blank control group, the expressions of PCNA and the activity ID-2 overexpression colon cancer cells increased( P<0.05). Conclusion:The higher expression of ID-2 is related to clinicopathological features and prognosis in colorectal adenocarcinoma.The abnormal expression of ID-2 may play a role in regulating the proliferation of colon adenocarcinoma.
